400 REPORT OF THE 



62. Landlocked Salmon {Sabno sebago Girard.) Introduced. 



The Southside Sportsmen's Club of Long Island has reared some Landlocked 

 Salmon and the species is kept in captivity at the Cold Spring Harbor Hatchery. 



It has been introduced into Long Island waters, but is probably not to be found 

 regularly now anywhere except at Cold Spring Harbor. 



63. Steelhead (Scr/wcJ ^rt'/;'<a';z^r? Richardson). Introduced. 



The Steelhead Trout is mentioned by Mr. C. H. Walters as one of the fishes dis- 

 tributed by the New York Commission. It is reared at the Cold Spring Harbor 

 station. 



64. Brown Trout {Sal mo far io Linnseus). Introduced. 



The Brown Trout was at one time very well established on Long Island, but it is 

 probably restricted now to two or three preserves. 



65. Hybrid Trout (Sabno fario and Salveliims foiitiiialis). 



This handsome hybrid trout has been reared at the Southside Sportsmen's Club 

 and at Cold Spring Harbor. The cross has always been artifically made, and never 

 naturally. It is a handsome fish and grows large, but it is sterile and far less 

 hardy than either of its parents. It does not seem to meet with much favor. For 

 a description of the hybrid, see Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.,IX, 1897, 346-7. 



66. Rainbow Trout {Sal/no iridejis Gibbons). Introduced. 



Rainbow Trout. This trout has been reared for years at the Southside Sports- 

 men's Club, Oakdale, L. I., and at the Cold Spring Harbor Hatchery, and has been 

 introduced into other localities. Many of the fish at Oakdale either escaped or 

 were transplanted into salt water and have thrived. 



67. "Btvoo^ 'Yxo\x\.{Salvclinus font inr lis W\X.(i\\\\\). 



The Brook Trout, or Common Trout, according to Mitchill, was much sought 

 after by New York anglers at Hempstead and Islip. He records one that weighed 

 43^ pounds. Patchogue and Fireplace were noted places for Brook Trout at that 

 time (1815). 



Concerning the Brook Trout, DeKay wrote that he was credibly informed of 

 one taken on Long Island which measured 20 inches in length and weighed 4^ lbs. 

 Those from running streams are better flavored, he states, than the pond trout ; 

 and those taken from streams to which the salt water has access are preferred to 

 either.
